SUMMARY:ERD Engineering & Operations Course
DESCRIPTION:Book This Course\n			 \n		\n	 \n\n		\n			\n				Discuss your training requirements now\n			 \n		\n	 \n\n		\n			\n				\n			 \n		\n	 \n\n		\n			\n				\n			 \n		\n	 \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n\n	\n		Upskill with Merlin and learn to drill further\, faster\, more efficiently.\nStuck pipe is one of the greatest risks when drilling complex wells\, regardless of the trajectory\, drilling location or wellbore architecture. That’s why Merlin’s “Horizontal\, High Angle & ERD Engineering & Operations” course focuses on providing drilling teams with practical tools to avoid or mitigate the effects of these events\, reducing the risk of NPT\, lost BHAs and sidetracks. \n	\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		What will I learn?\n\nThe real stuck pipe drivers in high‑angle and ERD wells\nProven design\, planning and operational practices to avoid stuck pipe issues\nClear guidance on managing key parameters related to hole cleaning\, T&D model interpretation and wellbore stability\nLessons from real‑world incidents: what went wrong\, and how to stop history repeating\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\n			 \n		\n	 \n\n		\n			\n				\n\n	\n		Course Delivery\n\nOnline\, instructor-led via Teams\n4 half days\, typically 4.5 hours per day\nDelivered in English\nStart-time: 07:00 Calgary / 08:00 Houston / 14:00 GMT\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		Who Should Attend?\n	\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		\nAll Drilling professionals involved with high angle wells\nDrilling Managers\, Superintendents & Engineers\nDrilling Supervisors\, Drillers\, Tool Pushers\, AD & Derrickmen\nDirectional Drillers\, MWD\, Mud Engineers & Mud Loggers\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\n			 \n		\n	 \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n\n	\n		Course Schedule\n	\n\n\n\n\n\n			 \n		\n	 \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n\n	\n		Day 1:\n\nERD –  What’s Different?\nHole Cleaning (part 1)\nHole Cleaning (part 2)\nExercises\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\n			 \n		\n	 \n\n		\n			\n				\n\n	\n		Day 2:\n\nTorque and Drag\nHydraulics and ECD Management\nSurge and Swab\nConnection Practices\nExercises\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\n			 \n		\n	 \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			 \n		\n	 \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n\n	\n		Day 3:\n\nTripping and Backreaming\nWellbore Monitoring\nWellbore Stability\nExercises\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\n			 \n		\n	 \n\n		\n			\n				\n\n	\n		Day 4:\n\nCasing and Cementing\nCasing Wear\nDifferential Sticking\nClosing Remarks and Recap\nExercises
